On the client side things weren't so smooth, we were faced with a few problems regarding the installation of MySQL Server and MySQL Workbench http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/ which is a graphical tool for working with MySQL Servers and databases.
The first issue was during the MySQL Server installation, the security settings were not completed due to the fact that there was old DATAFILES from previous versions (dating back to 2007), so those had to be removed first.
The second was that a few prerequisites were required to install the latest version of Workbench:
1. .NET Version 4.0
2. Windows Installer 4.5
MySQL Community Server has been installed using YaST on OpenSuSE 11.4 Server problem free.
The following links from the official MySQL website http://dev.mysql.com/ were used as reference for creating users and tables:
